A specialized American magazine has reported that the United States’ Joint Air Operations Center at Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar has been out of operation following direct attacks by Iran during the early weeks of the war. According to Air & Space Forces Magazine, this center, which had been responsible for managing and coordinating US air strikes in the Middle East for over two decades, was damaged by Iranian missile attacks and subsequently disabled. A senior US official confirmed to the magazine that the center ceased operations after these attacks. The report notes that previously, no details had emerged regarding the extent of the damage to this center. Given the geographic proximity of Al Udeid Air Base to Iran, questions have now arisen about the center’s effectiveness and the necessity of its reconstruction. The Joint Air Operations Center at Al Udeid played a key role in directing US air operations across multiple countries in the region, including Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, and Yemen. Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar is considered one of the most important US military installations in West Asia.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
